Welcome to the Koha community:
Thanks :)
Make sure you have the latest verion of Yaz installed, not the one on the Etch servers. You can obtain it from indexdata.dk/yaz
Ah .. I should have read the error message more carefully. I had to install libyaz-dev along with libyaz. New problem. Our vserver instance (a guest host) is severly firewalled and cannot communicate with the network other than on ports 80 and 21. This allows CPAN to download and install modules. But that's all. The installation of the (now required?) ZOOM module for Koha/2.2.8 fails many tests since the following connection fails: # Failed test 'connection to 'test.indexdata.com:2118' refused (10007)' I don't suppose the tests could be given a proxy to use? Anyway, that is not my problem. I am attempting to simply FORCE the install as follows: Failed 16/22 test scripts, 27.27% okay. 399/712 subtests failed, 43.96% okay. make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255 /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK Running make install make test had returned bad status, won't install without force I invoked the install as follows: perl -MCPAN -e 'force install ZOOM' Now I am stumped. Why isn't CPAN ignoring the test errors and finishing off the install? Also, with 2.2.8 we do not want the Barcode functionality. How can we avoid the following brick wall at the start of the install? perl -MCPAN -e 'install "ZOOM"' perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need PDF::API2 for barcode generator"' perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need GD::Barcode for the new barcode generator"' perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need Data::Random for the new barcode generator"' perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need PDF::Reuse::Barcode for the new barcode generator"' perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need Net::LDAP if you want to authentify patrons through a LDAP"' I don't think we even need ZOOM! Any help appreciated. cheers rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services Border relations between Canada and Mexico have never been better. -- George W Bush
